The Five Directions, Five Mountains, Five Elements Sealing Array

Liang Zhaohuang had always been quite confident in the Five Elements Dharma Eye, believing there was no five-elements spiritual energy that the Five Elements Dharma Eye could not see through.

But now, a large amount of five-elements spiritual energy had clearly gathered within the Five-Colored Jade before him, yet through his Five Elements Dharma Eye, he saw absolutely nothing.

Unwilling to accept it, Liang Zhaohuang circulated the Five Elements Dharma Eye again and stared at the Five-Colored Jade to examine it, but still saw nothing at all, unable to detect the slightest sign of gathered five-elements spiritual energy.

"Is it because of this jade? Or because of my cultivation?"

Liang Zhaohuang could not confirm it for the moment, but he knew this Five-Colored Jade was definitely a precious treasure.

Putting aside the great amount of five-elements spiritual energy gathered within it, which had made the jade brimming with spirituality and long since qualitatively transformed into a rare spiritual material, the effect of this seal alone, hiding the fluctuations of five-elements spiritual energy, was extremely uncommon.

"This jade should have been formed because the foundation of this array has been drawing five-elements spiritual energy from every direction and sending it here all this time. There should originally have been another part of the array here, or perhaps a spiritual artifact that needed this spiritual energy to operate, but now it has long since gone missing. So, day after day, year after year, the five-elements spiritual energy gathered and piled up at the center of the array foundation, soaking into the earth and stone. After who knows how many years, it slowly formed."

Liang Ruiqin had already deduced the origin of this Five-Colored Jade.

"Ruiqin, can this jade be taken out? If we take it out, will it have any bad effect on the array foundation that still remains?"

Naturally, they could not let such a treasure slip by.

Liang Zhaohuang had even already thought of how to use this Five Elements Jade. The Five Lights Bracelet in his hand had been a very practical ritual artifact when he was in the Qi Refining stage, but after he advanced to Foundation Establishment, it had fallen somewhat behind.

And among the gains from the Sun family, he had not found a suitable five-elements spiritual artifact either. As for Crimson Essence Peak, it was merely a spiritual artifact he had temporarily chosen to refine and use for this trip into the Spirit Cauldron Secret Realm. He valued its "heavy-type" effect, and had selected it specifically for the Spirit Cauldron Secret Realm.

Liang Zhaohuang would not spend too much effort refining this Crimson Essence Peak.

Comparatively speaking, he still preferred the effects of the Five Lights Bracelet; he simply had not been able to find a suitable replacement.

And now, upon seeing this Five Elements Jade, Liang Zhaohuang immediately had a new plan.

He could completely use this Five Elements Jade to upgrade the ritual artifact Five Lights Bracelet into a spiritual artifact!

Not only would that preserve and enhance the Five Lights Bracelet's original effects, it should even be able to add some powerful functions.

Liang Ruiqin nodded and said, "No problem, but I need to make some arrangements. This remaining array foundation has gone through who knows how many years without breaking down. Under the tempering of five-elements spiritual energy, it has even merged with the surrounding terrain, returning from the acquired to the innate and transforming into a natural array formation."

"A foundation like this is precisely the best base for our clan to set up a five-elements array!"

As Liang Ruiqin spoke, he began taking all kinds of array materials out of his Storage Bag. First came a rolled array diagram. On it, five mountains were drawn in five directions, and the five mountains were divided into five colors: gold, green, black, red, and yellow.

This was the Five Directions Five Mountains Five Elements Diagram, the core array diagram that the Liang Family had prepared for setting up an array in the secret realm. The array was called the Five Directions Five Mountains Five Elements Sealing Array!

It was said that in its prime, this grand array had been a fourth-rank Dao array, but what the Liang Family had obtained was only a simplified version, merely a second-rank spiritual array.

Its power was less than one ten-thousandth of its peak, but it was already enough for use in this county-level Spirit Cauldron Secret Realm.

If the Liang Family had not obtained a great amount of wealth from the Hundred Beasts Sun family, they might not have been able to afford such a spiritual array even if they sold off their clan's foundations.

"Little Uncle, you activate the array diagram." At this moment, Liang Ruiqin handed the array diagram to Liang Zhaohuang and said, "I'll take out this Five Elements Jade. When the time comes, Little Uncle, listen to my instructions and place this array diagram into the core of this array foundation, replacing the Five Elements Jade to bear the five-elements spiritual energy."

The Five Directions Five Mountains Five Elements Diagram was the array diagram of a second-rank spiritual array, so naturally it was also at the second rank. Liang Ruiqin was only at Qi Refining cultivation and was fundamentally unable to activate it. He still needed Liang Zhaohuang to cooperate with him in setting up the array.

"All right, no problem." Liang Zhaohuang took the array diagram and poured his magical power and Spiritual Sense into it, activating its operation.

As for the method of setting up the Five Directions Five Mountains Five Elements Sealing Array, long before entering the Spirit Cauldron Secret Realm, Liang Zhaohuang had already studied and rehearsed it many times with Liang Ruiqin, so there was absolutely no problem with their coordination.

Back then, their plan had been to use this array to remodel the Sun Family Stronghold after occupying it, transforming it into a stronghold suitable for the Liang Family.

And now, using it to cooperate with the ruined "array foundation" inside the Earthen Hill to set up the array was also just right.

After confirming that Liang Zhaohuang was ready, Liang Ruiqin began forming array seals with his hands, driving one array mark after another into the surrounding ruined "array foundation." As each array mark was driven in, the five-elements array foundation began to tremble faintly, and the flow of five-elements spiritual energy within it grew more and more distinct, even to the point of being visible to the naked eye.

At the center of the five-elements array foundation, the washbasin-sized Five-Colored Jade also began to loosen and shake.

"Rise!"

Liang Ruiqin suddenly gave a low shout, and with a flick of the array seal in his hand, the Five Elements Jade at the center of the array foundation immediately flew up and dropped to the side.

Bang!

Almost at the same time, because it no longer had the Five Elements Jade's suppression and seal, a great amount of five-elements spiritual energy abruptly erupted from the center of the array foundation, exploding in the sky like a fountain.

All of this was the large amount of five-elements spiritual energy that the ruined array foundation had drawn in from all directions over so many years. It had not all been absorbed by the Five Elements Jade; a small portion had still been compressed in the middle of the array foundation, sealed and suppressed by the Five Elements Jade.

"Quick! Little Uncle, drive the array diagram into it!"

Liang Ruiqin hurriedly said.

Liang Zhaohuang immediately circulated the array diagram in his hand, turning it into a stream of five-colored light that flew into the center of the "array foundation," instantly pressing down and devouring the erupting five-elements spiritual energy.

A great amount of five-elements spiritual energy poured into the array diagram, and the Five Directions Five Mountains Five Elements Array Diagram immediately sped up its operation. Five colors—gold, green, black, red, and yellow—shot out from the array diagram, scattering toward the five directions.

Green light was in the east, transforming in midair into a stretch of illusory green mountains. Golden light was in the west, turning into an illusory golden mountain peak. Red light was in the south, turning into a stretch of illusory red mountains. Black light was in the north, turning into a stretch of illusory black peaks. Finally, yellow light occupied the center, turning into illusory yellow mountains.

"The array diagram has already started. I'm going to begin setting up the array. During this period, we absolutely cannot let Spirit Demons charge in and cause destruction."

Liang Ruiqin said with a grave expression.

"Roar!" "Awooo..." "Screee!"

Before his words had even faded, roars and long cries from Spirit Demons suddenly rang out all around them.

Liang Zhaohuang and the others turned to look. In an instant, they saw all kinds of Spirit Demons—birds and beasts alike, nearly three hundred in number—charging in from every direction. Leading them were two Foundation Establishment Realm Spirit Demons!

A Black Eagle and a Giant Python!

"Not good. They were probably attracted by the spiritual energy eruption just now."

Everyone's expression changed at once. Liang Zhaohuang asked in a deep voice:

"Ruiqin, how long do you need to set up the array?"

There were nearly three hundred Spirit Demons, and two of them had Foundation Establishment-level strength. With Liang Zhaohuang and the others' strength alone, defeating them would clearly be difficult; even if they won in the end, it would be a miserable victory.

So the best method was still to stall—stall until the Five Directions Five Mountains Five Elements Sealing Array was complete. When the time came, relying on the power of the array, even if twice as many Spirit Demons came, they would have nothing to fear.

"Little Uncle, half an hour at the fastest!"

Liang Ruiqin called back in a raised voice.
